CAMDEN -Â The Everyman Repertory Theatreâ€™s opening production The 39 Steps at 7 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, Nov. 19, 20, 26, 27 and 3 p.m. Sundays, Nov. 21,28Â at the Camden Opera House. Described as â€śWhere Hitchcock meets Hilariousâ€ť, the show is an adaptation of the Alfred Hitchcock movie version of John Buchanâ€™s novel. In transferring it from the screen to the stage, the playâ€™s author Patrick Barlow has turned a romantic spy story into a Monty Pythonesque farce-romantic-spy story. â€śJust try to imagine John Cleese playing the Robert Donat role from the original film, and itâ€™ll give you some idea of what weâ€™re talking about here,â€ť said Everymanâ€™s artistic director, Paul Hodgson.
